Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Lido Shores, Sarasota, FL

“Kimberly was fantastic and provided the best care while we were gone for Thanksgiving. She was sure to send over a lot of pictures which we love when we’re away from home. Couldn’t ask for a better Rover. Highly recommend!”

“I can’t recommend Paige enough! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away, and I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-loved furry friend. Communication was excellent—daily updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that gave me complete peace of mind. It’s clear that Paige truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and professional—everything you’d hope for in a pet sitter. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Ky took care of my dog Gracie, an 80 pound lab, and housesat for me over 10 days. He is a thoughtful and caring dog sitter. He asked all the right questions, such as how long it was okay to leave Gracie alone, and provided updates over text on a regular basis which I specified. When I got home, Gracie was happy and well taken care of. I would most definitely ask Ky to take care of her again.”

About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Bathing them, making sure they have a consistent food schedule, and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so my availability would be Sunday through Thursday the full day and night, and every other Friday and Saturday. In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure their properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention.

About: I am a freelance photographer and videographer with a very flexible schedule. Let me take your pup for a walk or check in on them while you're away. I've got the spare time to help you out if you need regular, weekly help or last notice/minute help. I’ve been around small dogs and large dogs so I am comfortable with either size. I would prefer to handle only one dog at a time, at first, just so personalities can mix first. I currently have a dachshund who thinks he’s a pit bull, however my horse-sized dog who was 70 pounds recently passed. We also have a cat who keeps to herself most of the time but likes to smack the hot dog around here and there. Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you soon. I am working part time/freelance so I have extra time to help out on a regular/daily basis. Most of my current appointments are evening so I have a lot of daily availability In my home, my dog can be crated if need be. I am comfortable working in your home so long as we meet in advance of the appointment and you feel comfortable with me having access.

“I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!”

“We’ve used Alexia multiple times to watch our furbabies when we were out of town or couldn’t keep to their strict schedule. We have 2 dogs and a cat. One of the dogs has diabetes and has to eat every 12 hours and be given insulin. She is very kind, dependable, and the animals absolutely love her. There are very few people we trust with our furbabies and she has proven herself time and again. It is very nice to be able to make plans and know our animals are being taken care of and loved on like we would.”

About: I was raised around dogs of all sizes and took care of my dad’s dog, including grooming. I also have experience with cats and small rodents.

“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”
